    We had my brother's homecoming celebration at their reception hall and they provided a wonderful service. Food was really good and considering the price hike, they honered the original quote they gave us. Also, they have amazing rooms and a rooftop pool with an amazing view of the country side.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Rivendell over the holidays! We arrived in the middle of the night and they kindly provided a fruit plate so we could sleep in past the normal breakfast hours. And breakfast when we made it to the top floor dining room was excellent every day - some days were Sri Lankan, other days Indian (or a combo of both) and some we opted for simple toast and eggs. The staff were a highlight, very friendly and happy to help when needed. My other favorites were the rooftop with views of fruit bats flying overhead after sunset (we donโ€™t get that in California!) and the large doors that fully opened onto the balcony in our room - perfect for soaking in the tropical scene. It was an easy tuk tuk into the city center and would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Kandy!

    Rivendell Hotel is good but the location may be discouraging to the enthusiastic tourist. Food is great, waiters and staff are exceptionally warm and helpful. The stairs at the entrance may be supplemented with a small elevator because the slope is simply too high for aged tourists or those with locomotor difficulties. Do visit the terrace for a wow-derful look.

    The culinary offerings at Rivendell hotel exceeded my expectations. The on-site restaurant served a delectable range of local delicacies, and each meal was a gastronomic delight. The attentive staff and cozy ambiance made dining here a pleasure.

    The welcome was a sweet one. But on entering the room we were too unhappy. But the staff, specially the manager was very humble and helpful. He make sure that you got the room better then the last one. The overall hotel staff was very courteous. The buffet was scrumptious with a wide variety and good taste. The room had no view but the view from the restaurant and pool was amazingly beautiful.

    Went there for a wedding in a weekday. Convenient location to travel from Kandy City. * Parking is not adequate for a larger gathering. You have to park in the side of the road. 5th floor is the Reception hall. Other floors are for the in house guests as rooms. * One, two way elevator for all floors. * Location is beautiful. Surrounded by greenery. * Food was average. * Reception hall can accommodate around 60 at max.

    My wedding was on January 27, 2022. I'm so excited about the beauty of the place around your hotel. But I can in no way be happy about your service and food.

  • 4/5 Heshan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food and reasonable rates. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. Has enough space for parking in front of the hotel. Situated next to mahaweli river. Less choices when it comes to buffet meals. But overall satisfied.
